I read about a young man, Terry Lobell, who was an unemployed mechanic in the United States. He heard people complaining that advertising was expensive. Then he started thinking; if people are saying advertising is expensive, then it is a problem and therefore a need. So he decided to give people advertising at a cheaper rate. What he did was to mail coupons including the message the company or manufacturer wanted to pass across to the customers. And that was a lot cheaper than advertising in the paper and magazine. His business exploded to the point where he was mailing fifty million pieces of advert per day.  He became a multi-millionaire by solving a problem and making life easier for people. There was also a young man who sent for a transcript of a TV programme and it took months before he could get it. Then it occurred to him that as popular as the TV programme was, there would be many people who wanted the transcript. But if it would take them months to get it, then it...

“He who lives right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words” Anchor Text: “I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me” John 14:30. Just a little sin is what satan is waiting for to accuse you before your maker. A former British Royal Air Force employee returned a book to the Malta Public Library 42 years after he borrowed it and he was rewarded with a wristwatch. Emie Rosconet, a resident of the Channel Islands, packed the book when he left Malta in June 1962, and returned it when his wife gave him a holiday to Malta as his 60th birthday present. He said: ‘my conscience pricked me all the time and I decided to restitute’. He was actually expecting to be fired, but instead he was celebrated and given a beautiful wristwatch to encourage others to bring back overdue books. It was difficult for Satan to accuse Job before God because Satan found nothing to hold against him. Concerning Job, God sa...

Fruit Bearinng Christian? Memorise: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life And he that winneth souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30 Read: John 15:1-7 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Message Jesus is the true s...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
